The Son of God rides out to war
On Our Way Rejoicing
Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 196 hymnals Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
Is there grief or sadness?
Thou our joy shalt be;
Is our sky beclouded?
There is light with Thee.
Refrain:
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
2 If with honest-hearted
Love for God and man,
Day by day Thou find us
Doing all we can,
Thou who giv'st the seed-time
Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace. [Refrain]
3 On our way rejoicing
Gladly let us go;
Conquered hath our Leader,
Vanquished is our foe;
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy? [Refrain]
4 Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Saviour
Thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore;
On our way rejoicing
Now and evermore. [Refrain]

Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold.

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.

Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: "F. B. P." Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 622 hymnals Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics:
O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbour of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun;
For God himself gives light.
465
O my sweet home, Jerusalem,
Thy joys when shall I see?
The King that sitteth on thy throne
In his felicity?
Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green,
Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
Right through thy streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
Those trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring:
There evermore the angels are
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!

Author: José M. de Mora; Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Venid, nuestras voces alegres unamos
Al coro celeste del trono en redor:
Sus voces se cuentan por miles de miles,
Mas todas son una en su gozo y amor.

"De verse exaltado en los cielos así."
"Es digno el cordero," decimos nosotros,
"Pues Él por los hombres su vida dio aquí."
3 Digno eres, Jesús, de alcanzar en los cielos
Poder y riquezas y gloria y honor,
Y las bendiciones que darte podemos
Se eleven por siempre a tu trono, Señor.
4 Que todos los seres que hiciera tu mano
Que pueblan la tierra, y el aire y el mar,
Unidos proclamen tus glorias eternas,
Y dente alabanzas, Señor, sin cesar.
5 El nombre, sagrado del Dios de los cielos
A una bendiga la gran creación,
Y llegue al cordero sentado en el trono
El dulce tributo de su adoración. Used With Tune: KREMSER

Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 768 hymnals Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Lo, he comes with clouds descending,
Once for ev’ry sinner slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
2 Ev’ry eye shall now behold him
Robed in glorious majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall their true Messiah see.
3 Those dear tokens of his Passion
Still his dazzling body bears,
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshipers.
With what rapture, with what rapture,
Gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, amen, let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone! Used With Tune: PICARDY

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Blessed city, heavenly Salem
Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics:
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded
In the height of heav'n above,
And, with angel hosts encircled,
As a bride dost earthward move;
463
From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed,
Meet for him whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shalt thou be led;
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashionèd.
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
They are open evermore;
And by virtue of his merits
Thither faithful souls do soar,
Who, for Christ's dear Name, in this world
Pain and tribulation bore.
Many a blow and biting sculpture
Polished well those stones elect,
In their places now compacted
By the heavenly Architect,
Who therewith hath willed for ever
That his palace should be decked.
Laud and honour to the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, Co-eternal,
While unending ages run.
Amen.

Eternal Father, Thou hast said
Author: Dr. R. Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, Thou hast said,
That Christ all glory shall obtain;
That He who once a sufferer bled
Shall o'er the world a conqueror reign.
2 We wait Thy triumph, Saviour King;
Long ages have prepared Thy way;
Now all abroad Thy banner fling,
Set time's great battle in array.
3 Thy hosts are mustered to the field;
"The Cross! the Cross!" the battle-call:
The old grim towers of darkness yield,
And soon shall totter to their fall.
4 On mountain-tops the watch-fires glow,
Where scattered wide the watchmen stand;
Voice echoes voice, and onward flow
The joyous shouts from land to land.
5 O fill Thy Church with faith and power!
Bid her long night of weeping cease;
To groaning nations haste the hour
Of life and freedom, light and peace.
6 Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known,
Fulfil the Father's high decree;
Then earth, the might of hell o'erthrown,
Shall keep her last great jubilee. Used With Tune: WALTON
